Many of you have seen us use the word itineration in past posts. After thinking about it, we realized that it might be helpful to explain what that word means and why it is such an important part of our family's journey to the mission field.
In the missions world, itineration is the season of traveling to churches, meeting with pastors, connecting with individuals, and sharing the vision God has given us. It is during this time that missionaries build a team of prayer and financial partners who will faithfully stand with them throughout their ministry overseas.
More than Raising Financial Support 🫶🏼
Itineration is more than simply raising money though, itineration is really about building relationships. Every church we visit, every family we meet, and every conversation we have is an opportunity to invite others to become part of what God is doing around the world.
For some missionaries, itineration may last a few months, while others may be involved in the process for a year or more. It is really all about God's timing!
Some people are called to go, while others are called to send. Through prayer, encouragement, and financial support, our ministry partners we meet during itineration become an essential part of every life that is impacted on the mission field.
We are grateful for every opportunity to share our calling and to see God connect us with people who have a heart for global missions during this season.
God is Faithful
We hope this helps clear up any questions about the word itineration and how it fits into what we are doing with AGWM. While this season involves a lot of travel and many presentations, it is also a time of watching God faithfully provide the people and resources needed for us to serve in Thailand.
Thank you for praying for our family, encouraging us along the way, and considering how you can be part of this incredible journey. We truly believe we are stronger together as we work to share the hope of Christ with those who have never heard.
